From bestselling indie author Laura Thalassa comes the third book in a dark fantasy romance between a siren and the “bargainer” who she owes countless favors to. After making an ill-advised bargain with the King of Night at sixteen, siren Callie ends up in deep debt to him and seven years later, he has come to collect.

In the beginning, there was darkness.

Before he met Callie, before he became the Bargainer, there was Desmond Flynn, the bastard son of a scribe. A boy born to a weak mother, cursed with little magic, and destined to marry a slave.

But fate had something else in mind.

Till darkness dies.

From the barren caves of Arestys to the palace of Somnia to the streets of earth, this is how Desmond Flynn, a fairy who began with nothing, became the Emperor of Evening Stars.

This is a shorter novel told from Desmond Flynn's perspective.
